Crockpot Soup Success Tips
- Brown meat first when you can. A quick sear adds deep flavor to taco soup and beef stew.
- Do not overfill the crockpot. Keep it two-thirds full for even cooking.
- Add dairy at the end. Cream and coconut milk go in last for the silkiest texture.
- Resist lifting the lid. Every peek adds cooking time — trust the low and slow.
- Leftovers freeze well. Chili, stew and soup keep up to 3 months in the freezer.
